Tasiilaq Heliport Fuel Depot
The heliport fuel depot in Tasiilaq serves as the primary aviation fuel source for East Greenland’s largest settlement. This small but critical facility maintains AvGas 100LL and limited diesel reserves for helicopters and emergency ground vehicles. The concrete pad sits on elevated ground overlooking Ammassalik Fjord, with fuel storage tanks positioned to handle the extreme Arctic conditions.
Access requires coordination with Air Greenland or local authorities, as this is primarily a restricted aviation facility. Fuel availability for ground vehicles is limited and typically reserved for emergencies or official operations. The depot operates year-round but weather can shut down operations for days during severe Arctic storms.
Aviation fuel depot serving East Greenland's largest town.
